Soz, pulled away by the OH for house work bah!
No not knitted yet! So much other stuff on atm, knitting a scarf and a hat at the same time, unusual for me!
Right nose back to the grindstone til later

see ya.
oh yeah and me to!

Quickly back on whilst partaking of coffee! I can't even remember what knitty assistance was needed on this thread now!
My mum has decided to take up knitting again after about 30 years (don't really remember her doing any though!) so I expect a lot of knitty sos to come in my direction now

i am knitting spring greens from June 08 mag.(evie)
it says cast off all sts knitwise.
Does this mean the sts I am working on or all 83sts?
I phoned my mum and she thinks the ones I am working on.

Anyone who has knitted it or knows what on earth to do please help.

Also on the making up she says "Join 19 sts ...........how?(three needle cast off?!!!!!!!sew them together!!!!!!!!!!!!)

that debbie bliss.........is not the first time I have had trouble(beautiful pattern but I do not think it should say novice knitter.
I've been knitting for years and am completely flummoxed)

thanks anyone!

Aww sorry Blinx don't have the June 08 issue but it does sound a bit confusing! Hope someone has the answer soon

not to worry.
it is a bit bonkers.
I would have thought someone who writes the magazine would know.

I might just do what I think is right I doubt it will spoil it.
(I know I have knitted it up correctly as i checked the lk site and it doesn't have any mistakes in it).

wah wah wah.........

There is a bamboo wool out there that can be felted. I received an e-mail to let me know but can't remember the name of the company, I think it is quite expensive though. Try 'redheart.com' you may have to sign up for their free mails but it is worth it as they give some free patterns as well. Good LUck.

I see this is the place to come if you have trouble knitting. I noticed a post by Blinx, who is having trouble with a Debbie Bliss pattern from the June issue, Evie. Is there any possibility that certain patterns could be accessed on site from previous mags always maybe 2/3 months away so the june issue patterns could be seen in August/Sept; but only by request as I know I sometimes have a problem with reading charts, so advice on how to solve the problem would be thrown wide open to the vast knowledge that logs on.

oh yes I had to rip that entire top down was very annoying as the yarn was quite expensive .have manged to salvage some of it but it put me off that particular design I have to say

Hello all!
I gave in and knitted some fab socks with skulls on them over the summer, but I did come accross a problem: with socks, when you're kniting in 2 colours, what do you do about carrying colours over? I got in a real tangle. I've learnt how to carry the wool over by wrapping the second ball around the first as you're kniting, but this didn't work with the sock because it stopped it from stretching. So I carried it over loosly and seed in the ends, but it took forever, and when I tried the socks on, some of the knots came undone and caused me a whole heap of drama! Help!

Hi,
I dont no if anyone can help! Im new to knitting and have been knitting for about a year and am still learning all the different tecniqes as i come across them ( im only 19)!
I have knitting toys, scarves, neck warmers, mittens ect but am going for dungarees that i found in the the knitters gifts collections by lk book.. and have fallen at the first herdal..

It says : Note: work two, up to*

does this mean you do the instructions twice?

would be great if you could help!

thank you amber x

Hi Amber

Welcome to the forum, well done on all your knits so far.

If you could type out the whole line for us we might be able to help you work it out, it looks a little confusing as it is

I don't have the book as I think I had most of the patterns already, are they babies dungarees? what do they look like? and does it tell you the name of the pattern (LK patterns normally have a name eg Laurel, Paige, etc)? I might be able to find it in one of my old mags.
